The Nova N100 is a large, jet-powered supersonic airliner manufactured by Nova Aerospace in 2029. It is capable of flying at a top speed of Mach 3.54 and at altitudes higher than any commercial airliner. The N100 is specifically designed to not create a sonic boom when breaking the sound barrier, which allows it to fly to and over more locations and is not limited like the Concorde. A camera located in the nose provides forward visibility, lifting all-flying V-tail increases aft equivalent area which reduces signature, swept supersonic laminar flow increases range and reduces emissions, inlets are specifically designed to direct shock upwards, and wing shielding eliminates inlet spillage contamination to signature. The N100 has seating for approximately 400 passengers. The N100 is made to be resilient, Composite Materials allow for a lighter aircraft with exceptional strength as well as removing the need for rivets which increases aerodynamics, engines mounted above the wings prevent the craft from tearing apart during a water landing. Tear Straps contains tears in a 10 inch square to allow for a controlled mid-air decompression. Internal automatic fire extinguishers increases survivability chance for passengers and flight crew in the case of an emergency. Broadband Technology connects the aircraft to worldwide web everywhere it flies, giving passengers access to reliable wi-fi during a flight.

@sacr3dbac0n0 this is before I know how to make wings fuel tanks so I just added fuel into the massive fuselage

Nice work, I was able to hit Mach 3.7 at about 13 km ASL on Earth with Stellar Neighborhood planet pack (1.2 kg/m^3, 0.984 atm, 1g ASL). Clever work with the inlets. It must have taken ages to get that done well and symmetrically.
One thing though. How is your jet fuel mass 1954 tons when the total weight is actually 158 tons?
And other methods which I will not share
